Privacy Policy

Personal Information

The Polar Careers office at Ohio Northern University is committed to providing its users sound privacy practices regarding electronic personal information. We operate computer systems that are developed by Polar Careers in partnership with external organizations for our job listings, student/employer database and on-campus recruiting services. Information collected by these systems is used to provide and tailor services to our customers and for program-planning purposes. Information is also used to construct aggregate reports for state agencies and internal institutional studies.

Data collection and access to student information is governed by the following campus and federal policies:

NACELink

Job listings, résumé services and campus recruiting are provided through the NACElink system. Polar Careers partners with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), a nonprofit professional organization for career centers and employers, and Direct Employers Association, a nonprofit association of national employers, to offer these services. Resumes and profiles of students and alumni participating in any of these services reside on the NACElink servers.

Jobs posted on the NACElink system may or may not be reviewed before posting. Site users are urged to validate job postings and use caution and common sense when applying. Do not disclose social security numbers, credit card information or bank account numbers to unknown employers. For details on NACELink privacy practices, please review the NACElink Privacy Policy .
